In one final piece today on the travesty that is Michael Beale, you’ll be pleased to hear, we’re focusing on something very strange about this Rangers manager.
And that is his claims of ‘networking’.
Have you noticed almost every single signing Michael Beale has made, the player in question was ‘tracked’ by him for practically half a decade and is literally the best friend in football the manager has?
Every single signing Beale acquired this window (and indeed last) was greeted with the following (paraphrased) from Beale:
“xxx player is someone I’ve been tracking for years. We’ve tried to sign him before, and I know him very well from xxx youth system where we worked together for years. He was a great kid. We beat off a number of clubs to get him. He’s a great player now with top attributes and he’ll bring a lot to Rangers.”
A mishmash of this is pretty much Beale’s baloney for every signing, and if we’re to believe him at face value, every signing he made is the best player on planet earth and every other club on planet earth was trying desperately to get them.
We can’t really buy that for any of them – no one wanted Sima, no one wanted Dessers (aside allegedly Torino) and absolutely no one wanted Lammers we can quite assure you.
No, Beale just took a bunch of players he’d randomly picked from his own copy of FM 2023, and signed them right up.
It really is as if he’s played a video game with our money, and then wrote a generic speech in preparation for bigging said players up when it came to the official club statement.
It says a lot for Mick Beale’s judgement though if he’s actually telling the truth about these players.
Quite honestly we don’t know what’s worse – him picking them out of a hat or genuinely tracking Sima for the best part of five years and desperately wanting him…
